Perhaps someone from MPD Traffic will correct me if I am wrong, but I have been under the impression that a vehicles rear wheels must cross the third line of the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection prior to the light turning red to avoid an infraction.
I have spoken to the State Patrol about this, and I was told that as long as the vehicle is in the intersection before it turns red, it is okay (the officer said "There is no such thing as running a yellow"). I don't think the law says anything specific about what part of the vehicle must clear what to be "in the intersection," and it is probably up to the officer.
Also, photo cop can be foiled by license plate covers that appear clear at eye level, but are opaque at an angle.
Putting anything over a license plate to obscure it in any way is already against the law, and people are ticketed for this.
